1 Esdras 1:32-34
Revised Standard Version
32 And in all Judea they mourned for Josi′ah. Jeremiah the prophet lamented for Josi′ah, and the principal men, with the women,[a] have made lamentation for him to this day; it was ordained that this should always be done throughout the whole nation of Israel. 33 These things are written in the book of the histories of the kings of Judea; and every one of the acts of Josi′ah, and his splendor, and his understanding of the law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before and these that are now told, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
The Last Kings of Judah
34 And the men of the nation took Jeconi′ah the son of Josi′ah, who was twenty-three years old, and made him king in succession to Josi′ah his father.
